The cinematography is on point. That last shot looks so much like it could’ve come from the first two films that you could slot it right in and it wouldn’t look one bit out of place.
I love Prometheus and Covenant but imo Alien sequels should always ignore everything but the original movie. Reinvent the mythology in new exciting ways, don't be bogged down by the Engineer lore or Cameron's dull reduction of the Xenomorphs to mindless insects.
This has a chance of being the first Alien project outside the original film I unreservedly like if its up to Hawley's usual standard. I've always had a pretty low opinion of Aliens and while I love Alien 3, Prometheus and Covenant they... uhhh... have some Serious Writing Issues. Romulus and Resurrection don't even bear acknowledging.
